Anarchist websites across the country raised money for Schwenkler's $5,000 bail, and identified him as "a transgendered anarchist" using the name Ariel Attack. Authorities have consistently identified him as male. The gay, lesbian and transgender protest group Denver Bash Back characterized Schwenkler as one of its "friends and comrades." Initially, Democratic Party officials blamed conservative ... Then it became known that Schwenkler had previously worked for a Democratic candidate.

I am willing to discuss with FRiends about the day that generated worldwide attention and left downtown Seattle a scarred battlefield - 11/30.
